There have been many travel-related stories in the various news outlets recently. Here are some of the most interesting……and gross.

Apparently there is a country that works more hours than the US–Japan. They take even less vacation than we do.

I can’t even think about this, it is so gross. I’m not normally a violent person, but if this happened I would kick. someone’s. ass. Maggots falling from an overhead bin would freak me the f out. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Yet another story that makes you want to bring your own food onto a plane. (Just not rotting meat, see above.) Apparently the FDA thinks airline kitchens have issues. I never thought I would hear anything that made me re-think wanting to be in first class, but this……hmmmmm.

And now that I have contributed my ray of sunshine to the day, I will get back to work on my real job.
